NGC 3324, or the Keyhole Nebula, is a region of active star formation located about 7,200 light-years away in the constellation Carina. Part of the larger Carina Nebula complex, it is known for its intricate gas and dust structures, illuminated by young, hot stars. The nebula’s distinctive keyhole-shaped feature is a result of stellar winds and radiation, providing valuable insights into the processes of star birth and the dynamics of nebulae.
